ox

Buey

• second of the signs of the Asian zodiac

Information

The ox emoji is the internet’s resident heavyweight: a sturdy, horned bovine built for power, patience, and pulling more than its fair share. On Apple/iOS, it shows a calm, left-facing brown ox in side profile with a broad body, short pale horns, a light tan snout, and a tufted tail—no flashy grin, just composed, farm-strong energy. Visually it reads as earthy and dependable, the kind of animal that looks like it could plow a field before breakfast and still have time to pose for your camera roll. You’ll spot it instantly by that solid brown coat and quietly determined stance.

Definition

An ox is a powerful animal historically used to pull heavy objects, such as wagons and farming equipment. Prior to tractors, a team of oxen was the backbone of a farm.

Editorial Comment

The video game "Oregon Trail" was sure tough on those pixelated oxen. All of your oxen have either died or been stolen by thieves. :*(
